Halifax Connector Program
Connect with local business leaders
Presented by RBC Future Launch, our award-winning Connector Program helps new immigrants and recent graduates grow their professional network in Halifax. This highly effective networking program will put you directly in touch with Connectors—business owners and operators, managers, civil servants and community leaders—who work in the same field as you.
Meeting with your Connector will enhance your networking skills, build your professional network, improve your job search in Halifax, and connect you to hidden job opportunities.
The Connector Program is primarily focused on the following growing IT, Financial Services, and Ocean industries.
Match
We match each Connectee with a Connector based on industry experience and professional backgrounds. Once the connection has been made, an introduction email is sent to the Connector and Connectee to set up a meeting.
Connect
The Connector and Connectee meet for 30 minutes in the Connector’s workplace or a coffee shop to discuss industry trends, skills and areas of expertise, related news, current market demands and hidden job opportunities in Halifax.
Refer
The Connector then refers the Connectee to a minimum of three people in their network. These referrals may be potential employers or influential leaders within their industry.
